including; Classical Source.com.

"The show is well cast with Madeleine Worrall’s Cinderella making the most of what is normally the worst part in the show. Joseph Millson’s preening Prince Charming (he even strips and takes a shower) sends himself up with abandon."

Matt Wolf (for a couple of journals) 

"Audiences of whatever persuasion will enjoy a shower scene that finds Joseph Millson's hunky Prince Charming taking it all off.."

Tribune  

"Romantics from both sides of the straight/gay divide are catered for, with Joseph Millson’s hunky-but-ironic Prince for the ladies and a fairytale love blossoming between Buttons and Dandini for the men."

Theatre Guide London 

"Joseph Millson gives the Prince an unexpected intelligence and sense of irony"

British Theatre Guide

"The regal team is led by Joseph Millson playing a hunky and at one point strip-teasing Prince Charming; and Oliver Chopping as Dandini, the sidekick with an overwhelming liking for Buttons and bows."

A couple were not so sure; Rogues & Vagabonds who did love Joseph and a "Chippendale" Dandini...

"Having said this, there are a few classic Fry moments. Prince Charming (Joseph Millson, spot on) is a colourful creation, and his trusted friend Dandini even more so. Panto has always been a high-camp affair but Fry tosses it entirely out of the closet by having Chippendale Dandini indulging in a sexually-charged showering scene with the Prince. The men discuss their dream women until it becomes clear that Dandini's dream woman is a man. The entire scene is joyous, neatly unveiling the homoerotic subtext."

But Jonathan Gibbs from Timeout doesn't have a clue what kids really love from his list of criticisms. He still gave it 4 stars and liked it overall! 

"Paul Keating as Buttons does make a good effort at crowd interaction, along with Pauline Collins’ too-brief appearances as the Fairy Godmother. Nor can you fault Joseph Millson’s dashing Prince, or Madeleine Worrall’s Cinderella, who doesn’t complain about slaving in the kitchen all day, only that she’s not given the right cleaning products. "
